Thats the 1st time i seen trailers used with a miller. We allways used tri axle dump trucks. Or stright trucks. It looks like the ass end of the trialer is close to the miller.

I can't stand loading straight trucks. They're way too small. Belly dumps are the chiznit milling. Side dumps are darn good also.
Due to space constrictions they were at times only 6 inches way. I usually prefer 3 feet or more.

Maybe, if you'd widen the road, there'd be more room!! :roll: :roll: :lol:
Seriously.... I always thought of construction equipment (pavers, millers, I don't know the names...) as being Heavy Equipment driven by Heavy Equipment Operators. Silly question, I guess.... but do all these machines, as well as earth movers, graders, and bulldozers, require a CDL-A??
Hope you're not paid by the MILE!! And watch out for the cops! You might get a ticket at 85-90 fph!!

Only if it's on a trailer and you moving it. Otherwise no license of any sort is required.

Well you sure wouldn't like loading some of the hired trucks dad runs. He's got this one guy with a tandem GMC with about 12' dump body. :shock:

Update time. Do I ever miss the internet. :lol:
Did some bridge decks. Take 1 3/4 inches off, first pass them take 1/4 off till all the latex overlay is off. Let's put it lightly it sucked. I hate concrete.
Going was slow, and only had a loader on hand so, it was the dump truck for all four bridges. This is on I-90 by Sioux Falls, SD.
Sand blasting truck.
Checking to see if latex is still visable. Cleaner than using water.
Close to the edge :shock:

Hey, remembered to take a few pictures today, with the new camera.
Pictures of the old 450 with a shop built four foot cutter.
Currently working on I-90 Between Rapid City and Sturgis.
